Age of Criminal Responsibility

Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (16:28): Supplementary question: Attorney, what is the correlation between the numbers of children in custody and those who are under care and protection orders?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (16:28): I think the member is asking me whether there is some connection between some children who have been in care under the guardianship of the minister and/or the chief executive now and whether they are in custody. If she is asking me how many of those currently incarcerated are under the guardianship of the state, I will get that information for her and bring it back to the house.
